'A compelling story in a beautiful setting' Ann Bennett
🇮🇹 Lake Maggiore, Northern Italy, 1943 🇮🇹
In a quiet lakeside hotel nestled in the shadow of the Italian Alps, seventeen-year-old Giulia Leone lives a life untouched by war - until the day ruthless German SS officers arrive in the village. Her father's hotel is no longer a place of peace, but a trap for the Jewish guests who have taken refuge there. Among them is Ester, the bright, spirited girl who has become Giulia's closest companion. When a daring plan to help Ester's family escape spirals into chaos, Giulia is the only one who gets away. Heartbroken but determined, she flees into the mountains and finds shelter with a band of courageous partisan fighters, led by Raffaele Ferrero, the hotel manager's son. Haunting memories of her family and best friend plague Giulia's every waking thought, and she knows she must risk everything to fight back. But as a wanted person, finding where her loved ones have been taken - let alone saving them - may be impossible... Inspired by true events, The Girl from Lake Maggiore is a moving and powerful story of resistance, resilience and the extraordinary lengths we go to for love. Praise for Siobhan Daiko:
